Description
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and the Dynamics of NeoBuddhism is a comprehensive study of one of modern India’s most transformative spiritual and social movements. The book delves into how Dr. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, reimagined Buddhism not merely as a religious practice but as a comprehensive philosophy for social emancipation and human dignity.
The author, K. David Pandyan, meticulously traces the intellectual and spiritual journey that led Ambedkar to embrace Buddhism in 1956 alongside thousands of his followers. The work examines the distinctive features of Neo-Buddhism, including its emphasis on rationalism, social equality, and rejection of caste hierarchies. Through detailed analysis, the book demonstrates how Ambedkar’s interpretation of Buddhism challenged traditional religious doctrines and addressed the pressing social issues of post-independence India.
This scholarly work is essential for understanding the intersection of spirituality and social movements, making it invaluable for students of religious studies, Indian history, and social reform movements.
